Christians please help!?

I read your post and I am glad you got it out so to speak. Look your still just in high school. Keep your faith as you are and soon your life will change. People like to be bullies. Its a way for them to feel better about themselves. Yet over time that backfires on them and they realize there cruelness has turned against themselves. I too suffered like you do in high school. I use to to be called four eyed pizza face. Yet when I grew past all that as an young adult I found more mature people to be around. That to will happen for you. Look THE BIBLE say's your blessed when people wrongfully persecute you.

Your words have touched my heart and in them I see the Love of GOD in You. I realize how hard the situation you are in is for you. Yet know it gets better. Now also GOD is using this situation your in to strengthen you for some purpose in the future. Therefore be patient and endure for now, and be open to help somebody in your situation that might not make it without you. I shall pray JESUS bless you in an mighty way and fill your heart with HIS LOVE totally. You are very special and will grow to be a totally gifted person due to your extraordinary trial your in now. You just keep your beautiful heart you have intact and Your FUTURE will be brighter than those that bully you now. JESUS BLESS YOUR DAUGHTER HER AND TOUCH HER TOTLALLY WITH YOUR LOVE! THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS AMEN!!! JESUS BLESS YOU david stotler

I'm not a Christian, but I agree with a lot of what David said. You will probably find things get easier in the future, as you come into contact with more mature people who will recognise your qualities. Perhaps you should look for a different youth group to join if you are not getting on with the people at the one you attend. You do not need to feel guilty about the music you listen to.

first of all, I understand how you feel. i'm a quiet person and i have been shunned and bullied too. you're not alone. second, speaking of music, I have a great song to suggest to you: Sitting With Me by Mary Mary. great stuff. third, maybe you weren't meant to fit in. and i dont mean that in a bad way. Let me tell you that no one special, no one extraordinary ever fits in. So embrace it and take advantage of this time to get even closer to God! Other than that, I dont know what to tell you. Keep your head up and remember that the things you are going through are neither right nor permanent. Do you want to email me? maybe we can see how to fix this.

Brenna, God does exist. I'm sorry for all the negative things going on in your life and yes people can be very cruel and unsympathetic. All I can say is let the pain drive you closer to God...that's its ultimate purpose and why God allows it. Focus not on the things of this earth but focus on the realities of heaven where perfection reigns and where you will be someday if you've accepted Jesus as your savior. I've been thru some very painful experiences in my life and in the middle of it is where I experienced God and His peace and comfort the most.

Instead of viewing yourself as you think other people do, you will do well to focus on how *God himself* views you, what he wants for your future, and how you can best attain that:

"How Can You Combat Negative Feelings?"

- Be Aware of God’s Interest in You

- Develop a Close Friendship With God

- Focus On a Sure Hope for the Future

Unfortunately, you aren't the only youth having to deal with bickering parents.

I recommend this article for showing best how to handle that situation, when it comes up:

I'm afraid that nearly everyone finds it difficult to find *true* friends, especially when young.

From my own personal experience, I think that youth groups are often used by some parents as a substitute for babysitters for their difficult children. I also attended a church-school, and some of the kids enrolled as students seemed to be there because their parents were trying to get them away from bad influences that they were already deeply influenced by, so that these youth *became* THE bad influences at our school.

It certainly requires good discernment to choose who to be friends with, for a successful relationship:

"How Can I Make Good Friends?"

- Friendship Factor #1—Admirable Qualities

- Friendship Factor #2—Praiseworthy Standards

- Friendship Factor #3—Positive Influence

Many find it hard to have faith in God today, because of the evil in this world.

However, it isn't God who is ruling this world . . . it is his enemy, Satan.

Scripture explains:

". . . The whole world is lying in the power of *the wicked one*."---1 John 5:19

"Among whom the *god of this system* of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ . . . might not shine through."---2 Corinthians 4:4

He is also called:

- *"ruler of this world,"* at: John 12:31, 14:30; 16:11)

"The World’s Secret Ruler Exposed"

- “The Ruler of This World” Reveals Himself

It has been suggested that Almighty God should have immediately destroyed Satan at his rebellion. However, that would *not* have prevented others from rebelling afterwards, or, proven Satan's erroneous accusations lies. Those accusations --that God is trying to hide good things from us, and is unworthy of our devotion-- and later his accusation that no human would ever love God except when enjoying a life of ease-- had to be proven wrong, in order to douse any question that had been raised in any human or spirit's mind, regarding the rightful sovereignty of God . . . and, ultimately bring about permanent peace.

By allowing enough time for mankind to try out every conceivable type of government, religion, philosophy, healthcare, etc. . . the proof has been mounting up that mankind --acting independent & in rebellion of our Creator-- can do nothing but fall flat on their faces in failure.

All of this evidence will be used for establishing a Legal Precedent. Once it is permanently set, anyone who tries to rebel in future will do so with the knowledge of the evidence behind it, & will be immediately & permanently removed . . .

So, God has not been ignoring our plight here on earth, but has spent the time very wisely laying a very strong & permanent foundation for his heavenly kingdom government, ruled by his son, Christ:

"Why Does God Allow Suffering?"

- Why So Much Suffering?

- A Vital Issue Is Raised

- Why Is It Taking So Long?

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teac...

"What Is God’s Purpose for the Earth & Mankind?"

- How has God been challenged?

- What will life on earth be like in the future?

"What Is God's Kingdom?"

- What It Is - What It Will Do - When It Will Act

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teac...

Continue rejecting those who try to tear your faith down!

God DOES exist, and he DOES love YOU!

Not sure what you are looking for here...

If it was just to vent, you accomplished that....

All of us have things in our lives that are trials... but it's up to you to face and conquer them....

That's true whether you follow a god or not...

All the best to you...

IMHO

Oh grow up already. God is just a figment of the imagination. God does not exist.

Gods exist only in imagination,

What do you have in reality?
